Or maybe because of Krebs' notoriety he gets lots of playback from these thugs trying to boost their street cred by pulling one over on him. Its a high risk/high reward game for the thugs, and their egos are blinding them into ja

Is that a sign of innocent people pleading guilty or a sign of an efficient judicial system? Got any stats to back up your inference that there are significant amounts of innocent people just pleading guilty? I'm not really sure what

So, even though the article was an advertisement for IEX, you still didn't answer the question of whether they really are offering a great service to level the playing field. You just answered with more hyperbole.
